Atari Falcon Recap?

Post by darkxavier »

Hi all,

Is it worth having my Falcon recapped? It's running a CT60E, so the PSU is one area that's no longer a concern.

Thanks
Rich

Should you change the oil in your classic car? One word, yes. All those capacitors are for regulating the voltage going into all those expensive custom chips, exactly like oil in an engine.

At the same time take your classic car to the wrong garage and they will do considerably more damage than old oil
